Installation Dialog Editor Usage

The Packager GUI provides an installation dialog editor and several tools and features that allow you to modify standard installation dialogs to fit your needs or create individual new installation dialogs. The installation dialog editor lets you drag and drop dialog elements from a toolbox into a work area and customize the dialog elements through properties boxes. The installation dialog editor consists of the following three parts:

• Toolbox
• Dialog panel
• Properties panel

The installation dialog editor opens when you perform one of the following:

• Select an existing dialog on the Dialogs tabs in the subproject pane
• Right-click on the Dialogs tab and select Add from the context menu to add a new dialog. The Adds a new dialog dialog appears. Specify the properties of the new dialog and click Add.

Whenever you want to see the current layout of a selected dialog, for example, during dialog creation, click the Test dialog icon on the toolbar of the Packager GUI.
